Email Scams (ESCAM)

[Susie924]

Follow up to my previous post.

Although I knew it was a scam I couldn't get it out of my head how authentic the check looked!

I finally found a website with the same company name and address with an e-mail address so I e-mailed them and asked them about it.

I received two e-mails the next day. One told me that it was a scam and the other one asking me what the letter said and who the check was made out to. I replied that it was made out to "me" but I didn't give my name.

Today I received two more e-mails saying that they were aware of "the scam" and had notified the bank and closed the account in question.

I got the impression that they weren't the scammer but the victim of a scam but who knows.

Either way it is a scam.
